E E7 A Am
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
E Dbm7 Gb7 B7
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
E E7 A Am
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,
E Ab7 Dbm7 Gb7 B7 E
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
B Dbm Abm
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
A E
She'll beat you if she's able,
Dbm7 A E B
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Dbm Abm A E
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
Dbm Gb7 B
But you only want the ones you can't get
B7 E E7 A Am
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
E Dbm7 Gb7 B7
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
E E7 A Am
And freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
E Ab7 Dbm7 Gb7 B7 E
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
B Dbm Abm
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
A E
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
Dbm7 A E B
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
Dbm Abm
You're losin' all your highs and lows
A E Gbm7
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
B B7 E E7 A Am
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
E B Dbm Gb7 B7
Come down from your fences, open the gate
E E7 A Am
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
E Ab7 Dbm A Gbm7
You better let somebody love you,
E Ab7 Dbm Gbm7 B7 E E7 A Am E
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
